[MAY PUNISH OFFICERS
OF THF 1 REGIMENT
Say Military Rules Were Vio?
lated by Petition in Behalf
of Colonel Morris.
JUDGE ADVOCATE HAS CASE
Governor's Anger Alleged to
Have Led Him to Appoint
Colonel Austin as Coast
Artillery Chief.
otn.-.-rs of th.- Dth Regiment of the
coast artillery, of Manhattan, it Is al
leffed, hav.- been guilty of a afsrlous mi'i
tary olTenee m signing a petition ask
Ini that ih.- merits >>i their colonel)
William F. Morris, t.rtaldered in ins
appointment of s chief of .oast at
tillery to au?*?.1 General I>..vi.l r,. Ai.s
t , win? wa retired on laat'Monday f"r
age. This petition, it is said, was put in
Ihe handa ol a prominent cltlsen who is
a close fri.-ml cf Governor I?ix and was
given t.. the latter a few ?lays before
the order retiring Genera! Austen waa
issued.
The petition, which waa aigned by all
the oflli ? ra of the regiment, made a !
great aenaation when 11 reached the Gov- !
ernor, and the latter waa exceedingly
Indignan! tl at he, as commander In
chief, should receive auch a document
from officers In the militar., aervlce of
the atate.
Th-- Governor at once consult??d some
of : la military advlaers, who gave it
aa their ? ?i > i r? i< ?i i that the offl en of th?
regiment 11 h < i clearl) violated th? mlll
tarj regulationa, which, it is held, f-?r: i-1

i idg? '?? . '? of the nationnl guard

action of a disciplinar-?' nature against
the ? Ulcers
The matter, 11 la underatood, la still
In the handa of th? judge advocate, and
upon his report, it la aald will depend

The Governor Incensed.
That the Governor is thoroughly in
i is well known, and hla detail of
Colonel Elmore P. Austin, of the **' i
Regiment, aa a? ting < hi?-f of < oast ar?
tillen over the head of Colonel Mor?
ris, his senior In rank, was done, it Is
said, to show his displeasure at what
he considera the unmilltary action of the
??nil?-!s of the hth Regiment.
if the judge advocate decides that the
officers of the .'th Regiment have
committed a serious violation of mili
tary regulations every one <>f then an
he trierl l.v court martial, and ill lilis
event the guard will see th?- greatest up?
roar since the ?lays of the old '_'J<!
Regiment light In ISSeit, when a num
h.-T ??f offlcera were placed under mill
tary arrest and aeveral companies were
disbanded.
in the trotihlea of the 13th lotrlment
it, 1887 enlisted men signed petitions
against their offlcera during a factional
ficht in which Colonel Edwi 1 Packner
figured, and the situation became s<> dis?
graceful that the military authorities
were forced t.? tak.- drastic measures.
Several officers who were seen yesti t
day on behalf of Colonel Mortis as
serted thai the colonel had nothing to
do with the getting up .?' the petition,
and thai it was ?l?.n?- simply as an evl
d? ice of the ? fflcers* loyalty t<> him and
without his knowledge, Nom- of the of?
flcera would be quoted, but one of them
said:
"I do not consider that the ??ill. <-rs of

Motion Picture Girls' Plans Go
Awry on Liner.
Captain Hogemann of the Kronprln
repsln Cecllle is a proper man. He is
oimnrnl'ir? of the North Herman Lloyd
fleet and is conscious "t" the dignity that
goes with the joh. Therefore it was not
strange chat he was argered at the mov
Uig picture folk yesterday when they
laid the tail end "f a dramatic story on
the deck ??.' th? Kronprinzessin as he
i was taking h.r out to sea.
Fifteen i layers assembled on the pier
In Hohnken. There were kissing and
hugging and tears and laughter Just be?
fore the gangplank was hauled ashore
and four young women without ticket?
deliberately remained on b??ar?.
?Down the ?Bay on the tug Dalselline
was another machine, the tug having
orders to take the four women off. It
was planned to have a rope ladder
thrown nvr the liner's side where the
wind could catch skirts and display
hosiery.
Captain Hogemann, when h? learned
of the trick, was annoyed. He ordered
the accommodation gangway lowered.
By this means th.- women had t?> hoard
the tug in a decorous fashion, an?! the
skipper laughed In modest triumph.
